An additional annoyance to me about text speak is texts haven't had a maximum number of characters for YEARS (ok, except Twitter). Most of the writers of this style never had to abbreviate to get a text out. And nobody here ever got crucified for using 2 for to, two or too. That's an abbreviation everyone can immediately translate in their heads.

But then I think someone who's not being vigilantly stupid would know the difference between abbreviation for expediency, a simple typo, and incompetence. And everyone can tell when you're trying to hide one by claiming the others.
